Budweiser American AleTried a new one today. I like to try new things and since Budweiser is one of the domestic beers I consider palatable I figured I would give this new 'American Ale' a taste. The packing is smart, and it is more expensive than regular Bud. That's a good sign. Budweiser Select was pretty much Budweiser with a new label and an advertising campaign.

Aroma - Mildly unpleasant, the bouquet was a bit spikey and the nose was somewhat offended. This isn't really major point, as most beer doesnt have a perfume like smell.

Body - I have to quote Muro on this one. 'Just make it browner'. The flavor is brown beer. That should sound unpleasant, because it kind of is. It won't be a repeat purchase but if it was free beer at a party or I'd already dzed a few brain cells and taste buds with other beer, it would do.

Finish - GAHK, not a beer to let sit in the bottle for a length of time. The warmer it gets, the more prounced the brown flavor becomes.

Ah, how I have come to love that sense of accomplishment and victory that I get when I pull the wool over the eyes of a clever player character. What DM Triumphs have you had?

Some of mine:1. Finally killing an incredibly powerful, lucky, annoying player's character.2. Finally achieving a TPK (Total Party Kill)3. Finally achieving a TPK using only traps4. Finally working out how to make it so that d**n wizard doesn't steal the spotlight all the d**n time.

I'm guessing you find Mexican beers too diluted? It's true that they're not as strong and full bodied as most European beers, but they also tend to have a more pleasant flavour than European brews, perhaps for that very reason.

That's a fair point. I'm guessing that your personal trainer isn't much of a beer drinker.

At special request, I am writing this review of Reinaert's while still inebriatred by the bottle. it uis a avery big bottle, 25 ounces. 9% alcohol. It also has a cork like a bottle of wine.

Great fun, foam went everywhere when I opened this bad boy. THe aroma is strong, and slightly unpleasant. The first drink is also rather on the rough side. But Reinaert is like finding a girl who isnt the prettiest girl in the bar, but once you get her in your place, she comes out of her shell and she is a stuinning and vivacious babe!

I ramble.

The beer is good, strong, I would recommend it with some sort of rich and thick beef stew. The beer's flavor is strong and able to stand on it's own. I am currently trying to eat a sandwich to counter=affect the beer's influence on my empty stomach and the sandwich is loosing. not for flimsy food.

I give Reinaert, which really really really needs an H in it's name somewhere a 4/5 and 2 HoHs.

New GristA gluten free brew (as advertized, made from sorghum and rice... extract?)

It's labeled as a crisp and refreshing session beer.

It raunchy. That's all there is too it. I've tried Redbridge, a beer made from just Sorghum and its a regular purchase for me. This tastes nothing like it. The flavor has a slightly rancid undertone to it, and the smell is distantly reminiscent of a trash can.

Your label says hints of horseblanket and barnyard funk. How bad can that be? I've got horse blankets, and have been around that kind of funk before.

HO HO how wrong I was.

Quite simply, this is the absolute worse thing I have ever put into my mouth. I had to take three drinks just to make sure that my mouth was not making up just how foul this drink was. Several people have suggested that the beer in question might have turned, gone to the dark side so to speak.

It tastes like a dark malty beer that you drank about an hour ago. Then instead of staying quietly gone, it erupts from the back of your throat back into your mouth. It tastes like bile with a beer chaser. On top of that, it has an oily never say die undertone. Brushing my teeth and listerine wasnt enough to cut the flavour offending my tongue. I daresay that I would have to eat a bulb of garlic to defeat such an awesome foe.

In reference to horseblanket, I think that horse sweat would taste better than this beer.

I would like to quite sincerely thank Muro for introducing me to what I can now call 'The Worst Beer on Earth'
